So far, no. Far less difficult than I had thought. I have access to a lot of fruit at times through the year so figured it would be inexpensive, just some hard work. I did a lot of reading about making fruit wines and 'averaged' some recipes(i.e. took the bits that sounded good). There are a lot of opinions about how to best make fruit wines, but I just went for the most basic, simplest methods.
The Lime wine should be interesting. I can't find a decent recipe so will average one ok lime recipe I've found with the Tangerine recipe I last used. Hopefully it won't come out tasting like floor cleaner.
Are you making wine?

Not making my own, no. Started drinking more lately though since I don't drink heavily anymore. Spirits and wine are good as I'll only have a glass or two and be content whereas I can throw beers back without even thinking. Enjoy a chilly bottle of wine on a stinking hot day just as much as a beer these days.

Was wondering how difficult it was as I've never really known anyone to make their own. Plenty of home beer brewers but not wine.

Help me... I broke apart my insides,
Help me... I've got no soul to sell;
Help me... The only thing that works for me,
Help me get away from myself...

Except for the fact that you have to take the time to press the juice from the fruit, the process is at least as easy as home brewing beer. Of all the people I have known (including me)to home brew beer only one (not me)has produced something that I would call quality beer.
The wine on the other hand is simple and bright, very nice chilled. Very easy to drink. The main thing I keep in mind is ensuring everything is sterile through the process.

I don't drink much any more nearly drunk myself to death as a teenager and early 20's. I don't mind a XXXX Summer, really refreshing about 1 a fortnight,.
I enjoyed Grolsch a couple of years ago, really hoppy taste took a while to adjust to it after the XXXX.
An occasional Tia Maria or Baileys is about my limit now.

As you probably know that Aldi has a Baileys imitation calle Donnellys that smells exactly the same for almost only a third of the price.

Malcolm Knox: What has happened this week is a pity for the Tigers, a pity for Jason Taylor and a pity for Robbie Farah, who had achieved more than the Big Four put together but was somehow turned into collateral damage. (SMH 25-26 March, 2017)

Young Henrys has to be the most overrated, overpriced drink available. Nothing special about it whatsoever.
When I saw this was a recommendation thread my first thought was Balter XPA. Fantastic drink. But looks like you've discovered that already.

I don't mind Kosciusko. That goes down well. Stone and Wood is nice too.

Agree about YH....I like the traditional beers VB and Carlton Draught, Furphy as a newbie. Is good too

Swaggy,when I was a young bloke I lived in Wells street Newtown,just off St Peters station,I enjoyed many a schooner of Resches at the Marlbrough Hotel... I was doing my accountancy course in Ultimo at TAFE...

nowadays I enjoy Wild Turkey Longbranch and coke,Im very partial to having Carlton Draught on tap or BECKS beer at home..

Alcohol not good habit for us,it has a lot of side effects of our body,so its better for us just go away from these kinds of things.

Each to their own. I did dry july and gave up coffee for a few weeks too. When I started drinking both again I sincerely felt 2 coffees a day messed with my body's normal functioning more than two shots of whisky. Not in the first hour when obviously the whisky was in full effect, but definitely for the rest of the day after that.

Know your body, live smart and safe, but save the judgement for roosters fans.

Being a coeliac I haven't had a regular beer for a while, but back when I did Little Creatures and Pilsner Urquell were the choices. As a gluten free beer both Wilde and Baron's (USA) are pretty decent.
